modem woes

["Michael P. Soulier" <msoulier@storm.ca>]

    Hey people. A friend of mine is having trouble with her internal modem on 
a Toshiba Laptop. The modem is apparently a Toshiba V.90 on COM 2, and 
hardware compatability should be fine. 
    Whenever she tries an app to use it, kppp, minicom, it reports that it 
cannot initialize the modem. I'm having her check out initialization strings 
now, but as my modem worked perfectly on the first try, I don't know much 
about this. Some help would be appreciated. 

    Thanks,

    Mike
